@cstross It's not as if we haven't known “grinding up dead animals and feeding them to other animals” is a bad idea for, oh, four decades at least. I still can't give blood in the US because I lived in the UK during the Mad Cow years. But, naturally, agribusiness never wanted to learn that lesson because, hey, what else are we going to do with all these dead chickens?

New industry rule: before you can feed it to the livestock, you have to feed it to the CEO. That should take care of the issue.
